About this map

The settlement of Anahola stands at the edge of Anahola Bay on the northeastern coast of Kauai, where the landscape is defined by its extensive system of agricultural water management. The interior of the quadrangle is marked by numerous reservoirs and streams, such as the Kaneha Reservoirs, Morita Reservoir, and Waiakalua Reservoir, which transition into the upper reaches of the Makaleha Mountains. Evidence of early community life is anchored by the Koolau Huila Church Cem near the northern coast.

Further north, the community of Kilauea is positioned near the dramatic coastline at Kilauea Point. The map illustrates a complex network of coastal features, from the protection of Aliomanu Reef to the scenic reaches of Larsens Beach and Kahili Beach. The numerous waterways, including Anahola Stream and Kilauea Stream, carve through the terrain, occasionally forming landmarks like Opae Kalaole Falls. This map highlights the essential connection between the island's inland water resources and its coastal settlements.
